Need advice on possible GB fraud

[finesse_r]

You can say what you want about eBay, but the PayPal system is fairly foolproof regarding fraud and misrepresentation. I have had to use it a few times over the years.

Pay Pal is anti gun to the point they will close your account if you ever try and use them for any kind of gun transaction. So I just don't use them ever.

Now if selling on a site like this I would be much more cautious as you don't have nearly as good a feed back system to get a history of buyers and sellers.

And yet 100's of items sell on here all the time with narry a problem!

And hundreds of thousands of transactions take place on GB with very few problems. I have bought and sold on this site with no problems, but I was very cautious and much more nervous than when dealing on GB. In fact this is the only site other than GB and Auction Arms that I would consider buying or selling from other than face to face. But as good as this site is it is not set up primarily as a buying and selling site, and it does not have the same degree of protection as a site like GB.

I have been lucky and have never had a problem with GB, Auction Arms, or here on the Forum. You must always exercise caution and usually if a seller has no feedback I skip over those offers.
